Getting these documents isn’t simple:

🪪 Passport: $130
📄 Birth certificate: $29+
⌛ Costly & time consuming
A new requirement could kick millions of eligible voters off the rolls.

NextGen Policy @nextgenpolicy.bsky.social · 5d

Here’s why that’s a problem.👇

An estimated 1 in 3 eligible CA voters don’t have US passports & many more don’t have a valid passport or birth certificate that matches their current name.

NextGen Policy @nextgenpolicy.bsky.social · 5d

California already verifies citizenship by matching a driver’s license or Social Security Number to government databases. CA Real IDs could NOT be used as proof of citizenship. ❌ Only US passports OR photo ID & a birth certificate.

ACT NOW 🚨 The U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC) is considering requiring documents to proof citizenship for voter registration, a move that will disenfranchise millions of eligible voters by adding a new barrier on voter registration.
